OVERVIEW

Genuine Hypertherm 120930 60A Shield for T-Series Torches

The Hypertherm 120930 Shield is a critical consumable component designed specifically for the T60, T80, and T100 plasma torches found on the Powermax 1000, Powermax 1250, and Powermax 1650 systems. Engineered to precise OEM specifications, this shield is rated for 60 Amp cutting applications. It plays a vital role in the plasma cutting process by directing the shield gas flow around the arc, which constricts the plasma stream for cleaner, more precise cuts while simultaneously cooling the nozzle.

In industrial environments, the integrity of your consumables directly impacts the quality of the finished edge and the longevity of the torch head. The 120930 shield acts as the primary barrier between the workpiece and the delicate nozzle orifice. By preventing molten metal spatter from adhering to the nozzle face, it reduces the risk of double-arcing, a common cause of premature torch failure. This component is manufactured from high-grade conductive materials that withstand the intense heat of the plasma arc, ensuring consistent performance over its service life.

This shield is compatible with both handheld and mechanized torch configurations running at 60 Amps. It is designed to mate perfectly with the 120928 retaining cap and 120931 nozzle. Using genuine Hypertherm parts like the 120930 guarantees that your system maintains its factory-rated duty cycle and cut capacity. Inferior aftermarket copies often lack the precise gas port geometry required for optimal arc stability, leading to angular deviation in cuts and increased dross accumulation.

FAQ

The 120930 shield is compatible with Hypertherm Powermax 1000, Powermax 1250, and Powermax 1650 systems using T60, T80, or T100 torches.

This shield is rated for 60 Amps. It should be used with other 60A consumables (nozzle, electrode).

Replace the shield when the center orifice becomes out of round, clogged with debris, or if there is significant buildup of spatter that cannot be removed, affecting gas flow.

Yes, this is a genuine Hypertherm OEM part, ensuring the highest quality and compatibility with your system.

The 120930 is typically used for mechanized cutting or handheld cutting with a standoff. For drag cutting at lower amperages, different shields (like the 120929) may be specified depending on your exact setup.

No, this shield is designed for the older T-series torches (T60/T80). Duramax torches use a different consumable series.

For a standard 60A setup, you will typically need the 120931 Nozzle, 120926 Electrode, 120925 Swirl Ring, and 120928 Retaining Cap.

The shield shapes the secondary gas flow, which cools the nozzle and constricts the arc. A damaged shield causes turbulent flow, leading to poor cut angularity and dross.
